Tadpole Garden Village is a fairly new residential development with a pleasing variety of house designs and some attractive landscaping. The dwellings beyond the pond are three-storey houses. To buy one, access to around £500,000 is needed.text/html2024-03-06T21:02:49+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall51.609954 -1.819440SU1290 : William Morris Way, Tadpole Garden Village, Swindon

The garden village is a fairly new residential development north of Swindon. The street names are inspired by William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement that started in the Victorian era. For a time William Morris lived not far away at Kelmscott Manor https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5421806text/html2024-03-06T20:58:49+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall51.610853 -1.819437SU1290 : William Morris Way, Tadpole Garden Village, Swindon

The public house is owned by the long-established and independent Arkell's Brewery. It opened its doors in 2022. The name is derived from a William Morris textile design. Morris lived for some time at Kelmscott Manor, not far away https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5421880text/html2024-02-05T21:37:04+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall51.716813 -1.966081SP0202 : Plaque, Bingham House, 1 Dyer Street, Cirencester

Formerly the building was called Bingham Library. The QR code works on the full-size image and leads to the Cirencester Civic Society website. Mr Bingham's name lives on elsewhere in Cirencester [[4923689]]text/html2024-01-07T16:36:23+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall51.534077 -1.904656SU0681 : Eastern extent of former temporary road, Royal Wootton Bassett
https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7685219
Although a section of the temporary road built in 2016 in conjunction with the electrification project on the railway between Paddington and Bristol has been ripped up and returned to nature, the majority of the road remains intact. This shows the start of the metalled section. Vehicular access is not possible as the road is gated at both access points. Pedestrian use is evidently still permitted. The bridge over the railway is visible at the upper left.text/html2024-01-07T16:29:16+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall51.534710 -1.908835SU0681 : Former temporary road, Royal Wootton Bassett

This is a companion image to this one [[7685172]] taken with a little zoom applied. Although a section of the temporary road built in 2016 in conjunction with the electrification project on the railway between Paddington and Bristol has been ripped up and returned to nature, the majority of the road remains intact. In this west-facing view the tarmac surface is still in good condition with only slight evidence of encroachment by roadside vegetation.

The electrification project referred to here [[4857045]] was eventually completed in 2020. The temporary road the project necessitated is no longer needed and the section of road immediately behind houses out of view to the left has been ripped up in accordance with a commitment made at the time the road was built.text/html2024-01-07T15:39:32+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall51.534255 -1.902205SU0681 : Former temporary road, Royal Wootton Bassett

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7657219
There weren't many people about on this rather gloomy November Sunday apart from the occasional dog walker. The Green is on the site of an old castle that was destroyed in the aftermath of the English Civil War. In the background is the Nelson Column, a Grade II* https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1297466?section=official-list-entry memorial to Lord Nelson. It was erected in 1809 thus pre-dating the larger and better known Nelson's Column in central London by several decades. The original intention had been to erect a statue of Nelson on the top of the column but, sadly, money ran out and the column is topped with a common or garden urn perhaps picked up at the early 19th century equivalent of a Dobbie's Garden Centre.text/html2023-11-21T20:01:52+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall52.012294 -2.644247SO5535 : Bridge remnants, Church Road, Holme Lacy

Until the mid 1960s the old Hereford, Ross and Gloucester Railway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereford,_Ross_and_Gloucester_Railway ran over a bridge at this location. The abutments remain. Church Road continues to the left terminating at St Cuthbert's Church about a kilometre away.text/html2023-11-21T19:38:06+00:00https://www.geograph.ie/profile/7420Brian Robert Marshall52.050831 -2.712611SO5139 : Bridge over the River Wye, Hereford

https://www.geograph.ie/photo/7656405
Castle Pool, or Pond, is all that remains of the moat around the 11th century Hereford Castle. The castle itself was destroyed in the aftermath of the English Civil War. At the far end of the pool is the rather attractive 1825 villa named Fosse House [[7655864]] and, just about visible through the trees at centre right is Hereford Cathedral.
